Its a disgustingly poor imitation of the original. I remember a clear straight line of jam with neat edges to the icing and plenty of coconut. OH how the mighty have fallen.

Heres a bit of VOVO trivia.
I have been led to believe that there was & possibly still is only one Iced VoVo machine in the entire world.
This resides in the brisbane factory and does nothing else. It is connected to one of the baking lines when required.
Some may therfore demand that a permanent mitilary presence be placed at virginia on brisbanes northside to protect this strategic item & prevent the yanks from making off with it.
If we had the same laws as the us, I would not have been allowed to see this machine and the arnotts takeover would not have been allowed on the grounds that the company was in possesion of a strategic asset.
On a more serious note.
The VoVo is only a sad and feble shadow of its prior self.
There was a time that the VoVo jam was a closely guarded secret and produced by a small family company specilay for the purpose.
As much as ten years ago the VoVo was in decline. The quantity of jam was reduced giving the VoVo a much less sharp taste and less adhesive mouth feel. more recenty the VoVo has had a serious reduction on the topping all together.
All the arnotts sweet biscuits seem less beefy in texture than I remember.
I sadly remember a time that wont return when you bit into a VoVo with a good solid crunch, tasted the sweet fondant and the sharp bite of the ample portion of jam then strained to open your jaw to chew as the jam had glued your teeth together.
It was a strong ausie biscuit even real men had secret respect for, It said "I'M A VOVO BITE ME & BE PROUD"
I am saddened by this now soft, weak sad shadow.
Plays tape of advance australia fair (original words) waves ausie flag.
